Additional Information

Vereins Kirche - For this series Charles mixed a solution of gesso and coated drawing boards. After the boards were dry, he would draw his images with a pencil onto the rough texture. The images were then printed in black and white (the texture gives the image a "pen and ink" feel) on watercolor paper and are now hand watercolored by his son Ben Beckendorf.

Ben under the tutelage of his father has been watercoloring prints since 1968. This original print is limited to an edition size of 100. The image size is 6 x 9 and the print size is 9.5 x 12.5.

Hand Watercolored

Charles Beckendorf and son, Ben, painted side-by-side for nearly 20 years.
These handcolored prints by Ben Beckendorf are rare in technique and add value
to these original Charles Beckendorf prints. Each print is individually hand
watercolored in bright, earthy tones.

About the Artist - Charles Beckendorf

Charles grew up in Mathis, Texas, where he had the opportunity to spend
hours on large ranches. Generous land owners gave him permission to wander
freely over their ranches and he observed creatures in their natural
surroundings. He developed a lifelong love of nature, whether it be in the
tiniest of flowers or the largest of animals. It was at this time that he
became a true naturalist.
